The Chinese president smiled and waved as he took his seat at the Olympic stadium in Hangzhou.
Chinese president Xi Jinping is introduced to the crowd during the opening ceremony of the 19th Asian Games today.
The Chinese flag was carried out by uniformed military personnel, “I love you China” and the Chinese national anthem were sung, then the athletes walked out, accompanied by some sprightly music. Roads in a sizeable “traffic control area” around the city’s Olympic stadium were blocked off, at least one metro station was shut and other Games centres were closed and deliveries were disrupted today.“I think it shows they’re too nervous, right?” said 45-year-old Hangzhou resident Li Jian.
Xi called on the west to lift sanctions on Syria and offered Beijing’s help in rebuilding the war-shattered country yesterday during rare talks with the long-ostracised Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
